As the title says it; Tsui-Jen "Soo Bee Doo" Cunanan wins big in her pro debut on Greg Jacksons's, Jackson's MMA Series 4 card in Albuquerque, New Mexico this past Saturday on April 9, 2011! This was a very momentous occasion! Tsui-Jen fought a very tough opponent Kelley Renee. We were going into her backyard, she trains in a higher elevation, at one of the worlds best MMA schools, and to top it off, she is a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. So, it seems the cards were stack against us. We were the obvious underdogs. To us, it meant nothing. She had more to loose!

March 12th was the first of 4 belt and stripe promotions to be held this year at Jay Pages Jiu-Jitsu and Phoenix Combat Academy. With the New Year came new changes to the format that had been used for many years. In past Belt Promotions, I had put forth a test. A test of a student’s competency level of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and its techniques! However, in past years it had simply taken too long to go through the test. I wanted to involve all who came to show their support of the strip or belt recipients. So with that in mind, I put the changes in motion.

Let me start this review by saying holy s**t! What an amazing experience! A kid in the candy store feeling doesn’t describe the feeling I had as I sat watched world, national, and international Black Belt champions walk through the door of Atos head, Andre Galvao’s San Diego California Academy. That description would do it justice. I would say what I was feeling that evening was closer to the feeling of one of those kids in the Disney commercial when they jut they realize they’re going to Disneyland for the first time. I was star struck and in awe!
